Congratulations!
Today marks Mrs. Sharon’s final day as a bus driver as she begins her retirement after 30 years of dedicated service.
The Self-Contained Classes at the Jr./Sr. High were using their engineering minds to create bridges. The bridges were made of popsicle sticks and hot glue. The bridges were judged on two categories appearance and how much weight it held. I want to thank the staff members who voted on the bridges appearances although the twist was two of the bridges were made by teachers. Here was the standings for the appearance votes Mr. G was 1st, Kady and Mrs. Dougherty (Miss. Smith) 2nd, and Selena 3rd. The standings for the weight were 1st Mr. G holding over 200 lbs (He stood on it while holding weights and it still didn't break), 2nd Kady and Mrs. Dougherty (Miss. Smith) holding 75 pounds, 3rd Selena holding 67 pounds, 4th Wyatt holding 62 pounds, 5th Billy holding 57 pounds, and 6th Josh holding 40 pounds. An amazing showing! The kids had a blast!
It's time for the annual 5 Essentials Parent Survey! It takes about 15 minutes to complete this survey, once for each school that your child attends. This means that some of you may take the survey up to 3 times.
Tip: When you are asked for the county, spell-out "Saint Clair" and don't use abbreviations.
We promise to read all anonymous feedback, so please participate in the survey. This is very important for our district and to benefit the most from our state report card, we need at least 20% parent participation at each school.
Please complete as soon as possible. https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/?target_name=parent

Every year Air Force JROTC Dupo and Columbia cadets attend a military ball; in conjunction with the military ball the cadets collect canned foods to donate to a local organization. Their first donation was to the Blessing Box at Mom's on a Mission in Dupo.
Who's your Valentine? ❤️
